In Which Erm... I Write Something / Thursday, April 07, 2005
Everything is going fine with Ash. Well, she's crampy, nauseous, very tired and pretty much hurting all over, but they're all signs of a normal pregnancy (at least for the first three months. I think it's all going to get a little less painful after that)
Some of you seem to be shocked by my lack of worries about bringing up a baby. To make it as short as possible, I have faith that God will provide. Of course I do still have a lot of worries, the book I'm reading is talking about setting up a college fund, we haven't even got our own house yet. Prices around here are close to half a million for a house. A little out of our price range (that's supposed to sound sarcastic BTW) Ashley wants to quit her job so she can look after the baby. I will only just be able to afford to keep us housed and fed with what I'm earning right now. Needless to say I'm looking for another job. One with benefits and a similar salary would be OK. They're all valid things to be worried about right? Still I know the Lord will look after us. He'll help me find the job I need, etc... Oh, and as for Ash and I splitting up from the strain of bringing up a kiddie, that's about as likely as.... umm.... the most unlikely thing you can think of. We love each other, nothing's stronger than love. Not even superglue!
Well that's that news out of the way right? I would tell you what Ash is feeling but I think that you should direct your way to Ash's blog for that. I'm sure she knows that better than I do! Did I say that we're going to go to the doctor on the 25th of April? Well we are. Thank you so much for your emails by the way. I'll try and reply to them all, it may take a while though.
Lindypoo is coming over tomorrow for a couple of weeks to come and see all the cherry blossoms (and us) which is pretty exciting. I bought a guitar (kind of. Someone lent it to me and I'm paying for it later) it's this one:

That's about it really, I've been working as much as possible recently. I made enough in overtime to buy the guitar, hopefully next month I'll make enough to buy the amp. After that I'd better start saving for baby stuff I suppose!
So basically I'm happy. I've got a new baby and another one on the way!

In Which I have VERY IMPORTANT and VERY EXCITING news / Saturday, April 02, 2005
I'm going to be a daddy! Ash had an upset tummy so we went to the doctors, the doctor did some tests and it turns out that Ash is pregnant!
How do I feel? Well the immediate feeling was relief. I was worried that the pain that as was feeling was going to result in us never having kids, so I spent the whole day worrying about that. As far as my feelings right now, very happy and very excited about what our baby is going to be like.
Along with the happiness is a lot of worry. Forget all the stuff about bringing a child into this world full of awful stuff. There's bigger worries before that. It's too scary to think about but so many things could go wrong... I think I'll stop that train of thought right now, but I'm sure you know where I'm going with that.
So now I've got a pregnant wife I have to look after. Apparently the first trimester is when she's going to be all tired and achey. I hope it's not going to be like that for the next two! Let's get the worst bit out of the way first... Please!
Anyhow, that's all I've got to talk about really, I guess I could tell you about a guy actually saying "howdy" to me, like a proper greeting, and me working real hard and a load of other boring stuff, but that's not really important right now is it?
Thank you all for the emails I've got (by the way that doesn't mean I'm not hurt by those of you that haven't sent me any yet) I wish I could reply to you all indvidually, but I've been kind of busy lately, I'm sorry. I'm not really expecting things to get any less busy in the next 20 years to be honest with you! Well maybe I'll be able to get our son/daughter to help with the housework and stuff and that would give me more time to talk to you guys and whatever...
/Hopped!
